This seems like bullshit to me. I don’t think the noise level of the sun is something we have solid data on
I traced down this loud sun theory, and it comes from a post from reddit of a guy who did the maths and obtained a volume level of 100dBA, although with one bold assumption, which is that the sound of the sun would propagate just as well as its light, which would absolutely not be true if there was an atmosphere between the sun and the earth. This reddit post has then been cited in a few articles. Sauce for anyone interested https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/33xuxu/comment/cqpsap8/
The sun apparently vibrates, but at frequencies too low to hear anyway. https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/sounds-of-the-sun/
You wouldn’t, of course. Hearing, the way we hear, in such an environment would be useless. We wouldn’t have evolved that. This is like saying “ultraviolet radiation from the sun would be everywhere, all the time, can you imagine?” It is everywhere all the time, but as such it isn’t a useful sense to possess, so we don’t.
This also makes some very weird assumptions about what the sound would be like. If space were a medium sound could travel through then it would–like all mediums capable of carrying a sound wave–alter the wave in many ways. Intensity, frequency, etc. But since we don’t know what kind of medium that would be, and since the comment doesn’t posit any particular medium, we don’t know what the sound would sound like or even how loud it would be.
Evolution would say: nope. And the surviving class would be deaf. No one is able to accept a permanent jackhammer.
Evolution might just block out certain frequencies. No need to go completely deaf.
Like the frequency dying plants make? Makes sense. Looks like evolution could already did this in the past.
I’m sorry what the fuck now
alright that’s it, I’m never eating plant based food again.
What… What’s let to eat then?
meat, exclusively
I imagine it would be kind of like the hypnotoad sound
Obey the giant burning floating orb
All hail Almighty Ra!

Nah my mind went to Stargate
I’ll admit I’ve never watched Stargate, but I thought it was scifi? I didn’t realise it engaged with Egyptian mythology.
It heavily features a race of creatures that have posed as gods throughout most of human history, so it touches on almost all the mythologies. Egyptian mythology features very heavily, with Ra being the first of this alien race that the series engages with.
